fat vs not fat

hugefatguy • Jul 11, 2006 3:30 pm
Ok I am new so i guess... hi

If there was a 800 pound fat guy who could still move easily and was not too slow and a 200 pound guy who was muscular and was fast and they had an all out fight to the death with no rules... who would win? (they can not use weapons like bats and chairs just there bodies) ( also they are in a closed space about the size of a boxing ring)



I say the fat guy would win because the punches from the other guy would do nothing and how can the other guy move him? Plus all the fat guy needs to do is to get the other guy on the ground and get on top of him
Trilby • Jul 11, 2006 3:38 pm
Hi. what an incredibly weird way to say hello!

I still say the 200 pound guy would win. The 800 pound guy has hypertension and diabetes and unstable angina.
wolf • Jul 11, 2006 4:09 pm
200 pounder ... more endurance overall, even if the 800 pounder would be pugilistically more skilled.
barefoot serpent • Jul 11, 2006 4:13 pm
yeah, even if the 800lb'er is on top, most of his weight is still on the ground and the small guy can escape. Watch some sumo wrestling sometime, the smaller guys often win.
slang • Jul 11, 2006 4:39 pm
Why would these two be fighting? If for pizza.....
hugefatguy • Jul 11, 2006 5:39 pm
well i still say the fat guy because 200 pound man could not get him off. And plus if you are that heavy you dont have to be unhealthy.
Ibby • Jul 11, 2006 5:41 pm
Yeah, uh, I think its prettymuch impossible to be 800 pounds and in prime shape. If a guy three or four times your size is laying on you, only a third or a fourth of him is actually touching you, the rest is on the ground, and if youre in relatively good shape, you can wriggle out.

Trust me, I know.
hugefatguy • Jul 11, 2006 5:42 pm
i disagree
hugefatguy • Jul 11, 2006 5:43 pm
plus what if the fat guy body slams him? then its over
capnhowdy • Jul 11, 2006 5:43 pm
C'mon, dude... let's get real. How the fuck can a man weigh 800 lbs. and NOT be unhealthy? Sheesh.
hugefatguy • Jul 11, 2006 5:43 pm
Ibram how do you know?
capnhowdy • Jul 11, 2006 5:45 pm
Try signing up someone that fat to a pro sports team or the military. NOT! Wonder why.
hugefatguy • Jul 11, 2006 5:45 pm
well when i said he dosent have to be unhealthy i meant he dosent HAVE to have dieabeties
hugefatguy • Jul 11, 2006 5:46 pm
actually the Nfl is trying to hire a 802 pound african american fat guy right now
Ibby • Jul 11, 2006 5:48 pm
I know because, back when i was a scrawny 90-pound kid, i would get in fights with kids twice my size and sometimes age. When I didnt win, I could always squirm away and scurry off.
hugefatguy • Jul 11, 2006 5:50 pm
well the difference here is 4 times and i forgot to add they are in a closed space like a boxing ring
Ibby • Jul 11, 2006 5:58 pm
if the person is four times bigger that just makes it all the easier to get away. As you can see, most of the big fat dude is on the floor.
hugefatguy • Jul 11, 2006 6:04 pm
but what if the fat guy got the little guy on the floor and then body slamed him right on his stomach and then started punching him? Or what if the fat guy got the little guy on the floor and the jumped on him with both feet.
Ibby • Jul 11, 2006 6:08 pm
What if? What if? What if?

Find me an 800 pound dude and let me gain 70 pounds or so and we'll see. You asked my opinion, I told you. Small dude has maneuverability and is in better shape.

I'll kick his fat ass.
Ibby • Jul 11, 2006 6:21 pm
808 pounds, of which probably what, four, five hundred is muscle? That wasnt the question.
barefoot serpent • Jul 11, 2006 6:25 pm
got some mojo in the dojo
hugefatguy • Jul 11, 2006 6:30 pm
actually he was very muscular before he got fat and when he got fat the fat covered the muscle it is still there just not visible and plus he has over 400 pounds of muscle and if you were 200 pounds of muscle his 400 would beat you 200 fat would help HIM
xoxoxoBruce • Jul 11, 2006 6:37 pm
Big difference between a sumo ring and a 53x100 yard field. Gotta catch 'em first.

He would make a good line, however. :D
hugefatguy • Jul 11, 2006 6:39 pm
i said they were in a boxing ring
xoxoxoBruce • Jul 11, 2006 6:48 pm
True but the NFL doesn't care what you say, they make their own rules.
I mentioned it because you were using the interest of the NFL as credentials of this guys bad-ass-ness. ;)
barefoot serpent • Jul 11, 2006 6:52 pm
one headbutt from Zizou and he's gonna be a 800lb speedhump.
Undertoad • Jul 11, 2006 7:02 pm
Does nobody remember the boxing matches that were on Fox? It was 375 lb William "Refrigerator" Perry vs 7'7" and probably 150 lb. Manute Bol.

I don't remember how the fight was scored, but to me Bol won, and Perry just wound up exhausted.
hugefatguy • Jul 11, 2006 7:27 pm

What if we were in the real world. The fat guy has to be fast enough to pin the thin guy in the first place.....
Stormieweather • Jul 12, 2006 12:48 am
Even on an 800 lb fat guy, there are less fat areas that are vulnerable...say, his eyes or nostrils or testicles or kneecaps. If the 200 lb guy were not just a couch potato with a beer belly, he could probably do some serious damage if he could stay just out of arm's reach.

Do you have anything that says the NFL is interested? I only found 2 links - one that says they are interested only if he can get his weight under a quarter of a ton - http://www3.sympatico.ca/farini/peacock/pages/Aexcerpts/ThunderThighs.html

And one that actually mentions that some of NFL is interested, but there is nothing else: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/funny_old_game/2124194.stm

What else have you found?

Just curious, because I don't think having a 770 pound man would be beneficial. Yea, not many can get past him, but he can't move real fast for real long. He would be out after a couple plays.
Spexxvet • Jul 12, 2006 9:53 am
There seems to be an assumption that the 200 lb guy is Charles Atlas, and the fat guy is a big bowl of jelly. What is his waist size? How fast can he run a mile? The 100 yd dash?

Even if the big guy is not physically fit, all he needs is a strong grip. If the big guy can hold the little guy, he can punch him. Because of his great mass, the damage done, even at a relatively low punch speed, would be significant. If he can hold the little guy, he may be able to get on top of him. It may not be hard to squirm out from under a 200 lb guy, but 800 lbs is a very different situation. If the big guy has any kind of skill, nobody will get out from under him. As for weak areas, the 200 lb guy has eyes and testicles just like the big guy.

I'm not saying the big guy will always win - I'm saying it depends on the individual big and little guy.
Ibby • Jul 12, 2006 10:00 am
but assuming an average 800 pound person, and a 200-pounder who was "muscular and was fast" as stated in the opening post... theres little contest, the 800-pounder would lose.
Spexxvet • Jul 12, 2006 10:01 am

because he couldn't find the fat guys hoo-hah?
hugefatguy • Jul 12, 2006 12:19 pm
well i agree with Spexxvet the big guy would win almost certinly if he has some skill. And any ways Emanuel yarbrough that 800 african american sumo was in wrestling he already beat a 200 pound guy by getting on top of him. The other guy could not get him off plus emanuel yarbrough is actually fast according to most people who wrestle him.
Ibby • Jul 12, 2006 12:31 pm
WE AREN'T TALKING ABOUT YARBROUGH, we're talking about an average 800-pound dude.

If you has asked "who would win, an 800-pound professional wrestler or a 200-pound guy in average shape?", of COURSE the answer would be the wrestler.

800 lb guys,like elephants, don't jump. make a heck of a hockey goalie, though. should be the nHl that's interested in him. total eclipse of the goal.

just how huge are you, hugefatguy? what about a 500lb fat guy vs a 300lb fat guy?

what about a 90lb weakling against a 115lb supermodel?

what about dracula vs frankenstien?


or Captain Kirk v. Picard?
Beestie • Jul 13, 2006 7:52 am
The 800 pound guy wins 99 times out of 100. Maybe more.

There is no substitute for size. Its not only the percentage difference but the actual difference. Imagine a 50 pound guy against a 200 pound guy (or woman for that matter). Same percentage difference but an actual difference of 150 pounds - imagine a 600 pound difference.

The problem with fighting somebody that much bigger is that you can't get close enough to do any damage because as soon as they can grab you the fight is over. About the only strategy that would work is to circle around and attack from behind, take out the knees and get the monster on the ground. A frontal attack is suicide.

Sweep the knee of the fat guy *using* Capt Kirk, not Picard. Kirk's got some mass of his own, while that silly Frenchie would just fold up around the big guy's kneecap.

Shocker • Jul 13, 2006 6:47 pm
Even if the 800 lb man has 4x the weight of the 200lb man, the 200lb man has the ultimate advantage of being quicker and in better physical condition. Even if the fat guy was strong and healthy, the size of his mass would be too large to move with any quickness, and the energy requirements he would need to put up a good fight would drain him in a short amount of time. The 200lb man would be like a lion attacking a lumbering elephant. Sure the elephant has the size advantage, but the lion can jump and claw and eventually beat down the elephant. He can run circles around him and stratigically place strong jabs on the fat man and that will wear him out before he can do anything back.

5'5" and 200 pounds of muscle? Then he's pretty damn strong.

kick my ass in a burping contest, maybe. but if it ever came to actual fisticuffs, you'd have a red ass, and excellent manners, posthaste.

the thing about the 800 lb.er is the padding. you can hit him as hard as you like, but a 200 lb man's inertia is simply insuficient to penetrate the protective layer of blubber in any meaningful way. while, even a glancing blow driven by 800 lbs would ring any of our bells. fatty has it, i say.

Assumption. Weight may affect speed, but not necessarily quickness.

Assumption. Big guys are used to moving big bulk, and over time develop huge muscles, or they die. Shaq weighs something like 325 lbs. Is he quick, do you think? In shape? Got stamina?

Here's a video of 7 lions attacking an elephant. The elephant gets away in the end. It's a girl elephant, and not one of the lions is Jinx. One-on-one, I say the lions runs away, crying like a little baby.

I saw a similar thing on Discovery Channel recently. A bunch of lions attacked a hippo and pretty much had as much time as they needed to finish the job but coudn't even make a dent. The hippo took their best shot after best shot and afterwards just trotted off while the lions just sat there scratching their heads and staring at each other.

Note to self: don't kcuf with hippos.
